It's good, but similarly, the hype machine may have skewed my perception or I just didn't see what it is. I can see the fans, it's whack and has a great and simple premise, but I gave it a passing nod more than anything. I like joke-comedy or physical comedy, and sometimes Adventure Time just dipped too much to screwball/goofy/random comedy that is more "whatever". Some of the clips I"ve been sent or shown have been great though, but I doubt I'll sit with it anytime soon unless Netflix makes that decision easier for me. :P

I "get" the appeal for MLP...well, maybe not all the conventions, fanurt, and being a young adult male and bringing your pony plush to restaurants or photoshooping to be in a camera with you... but I get the appeal. Same thing though, it gets boring (I had to do my research for 04/01 somehow) and it's clearly meant for a younger demographic (even with wise/clever pop-culture references and puns asside... like the secret "Dr. Who" pony --- Dr. Hooves). It's colourful, magical, and fun and nothing really-really bad happens (I know a bunch of boys who watched Sailor Moon when they were young, probably for similar reasons). It's just a nice show.

MLP and Adventure Time are both pretty throwbackish to classic era Cartoon Cartoon/CN shows, so I get the appeal, although the brony fandom has like shit-all to do with the show itself at this point. Fandoms annoy me a lot in general :DDDD

Also WRT Adventure Time, from my understanding, it picked up considerably from season 2 onwards, developing a more solid narrative arc and stepping away from the random-for-random's-sake comedy. I lack cable so I don't really watch it but I did catch an episode not too long ago when I was visiting my parents, and I found it pretty vastly better constructed than what I remember from the earlier episodes.

Bah. Parks and Rec pulled the same thing. First episode/season was garbage, so I stopped, picked up there after.

And yo...did you take down that horse picture?? I was trying to show it off earlier. and I couldn't find it.

If you like Adventure Time check out Bravest Warriors. It's by the same guy, only it's on youtube. It features the best goddamn cute character ever, Catbug! Oh, and it has deep extensional moments like the main female character and her paralyzed but deep thinking horse.

Oh right! MLP! I tried to find good MLP pics, but instead I found Jem from Jem and the Holograms. I think I did something wrong. :(
